Congratulations Egypt!

anyone else think we should change 'obama' to something funny to make lyle's rants more tolerable.

He's is a poor leader....are you attempting to say otherwise Missy?

All of your leaders are poor, so at least be consistent with that argument. Also, the only reason you want 'allies' in the middle east is to sustain oil supply. You couldn't care less about Egyptian democracy in the past so I find it interesting that you now have an interest when Obama can be attached to it. America has always been in support of non-democratic regimes in the middle east in order to maintain an oil supply that is cheap. Israel and Egypt are about the region cogs working nicely and little more. Obama is like all recent Presidents in that he has next to no interest in Egyptian democracy. On that basis you cannot make Obama a special case. If you are to argue that Obama should be in support of democracy then you should apply it to all the nations that America deals with and democracy is the least of their concerns in most cases.

Even the ones who fought to make certain that where you currently reside is a free place?


Fuck off miles

Eh? You as an American today should not talk to anyone about a place being 'free' and your country couldn't care less that Korea was a dictatorship for decades afterwards. You came here for 'freedom' and stayed friends with a dictator as always. The Korean people made this place free, not America (and it was the UN including my country too). America only changes its political argument when it has lost and then it supports the other side.

Your arguments are weak and silly and thus you get all defensive and angry. You couldn't care less about freedom. Where is your disgruntlement about Saudi Arabia, your biggest Middle East oil buddy? And yet you care about Egyptians now and tell me to fuck off without addressing anything I said.

Wanker.
